00:00I have put my song in one film, but my name is not in it, it's the name of another music director.
00:04You should speak your mind, and work with honesty.
00:08I don't believe in theft, robbery, or anything like that.
00:11These days, even romantic songs seem to be action films.
00:18The way they are picturized, they don't seem to be romantic.
00:22A music director who is at the top,
00:25he says, I put my hand on my foot and took so many pictures.
00:28This is just a line, what will happen if people come like this?
00:48No, look, here it is like,
00:51Anu is also doing very well,
00:54and nobody is replacing anybody.
00:59For example, if a producer comes here,
01:04we don't know where he has come from.
01:06We don't know that he is taking us in replacement.
01:11This happens with every music director.
01:14I don't think anyone knows where he is coming from,
01:18or what he is doing.
01:21I don't have anything like that.
01:24I am not replacing anyone.
01:28I am just working hard and trying.
01:33This is the right time, especially for young people.
01:38It's a good time for young people.
01:41Anu has done a lot.
01:45I have to go very far now.
01:50Delhi is far away.
01:53I can't see where it is.
01:56I have a very long way to go.
01:59Nowadays, every song is a hit,
02:02and everybody wants to be different.
02:05If you like a song, you pick it up from here and there.
02:10You mean copying?
02:11Copying.
02:12How much do you believe in it?
02:15Do you also do it?
02:16No, it is very bad.
02:18Actually, you shouldn't do it.
02:21You shouldn't do it,
02:23no matter what language it is,
02:26whether it is Punjabi or something else.
02:30For example, South Indian.
02:34When a composer works on a language,
02:38like Rehman in South India,
02:41he has to put in a lot of effort.
02:45And he has to copy it shamelessly.
02:49I think it is very bad.
02:52And if the music director who is copying
02:55doesn't have the ability,
02:57then it's a different matter.
02:59He can't do anything else.
03:01And if he does it,
03:03it proves that he can't do other things.
03:06So, it's not right for him.
03:09It's a useless thing.
03:11You shouldn't do it.
03:13I have done a lot of Punjabi songs.
03:16So, they took out my songs too.
03:19They put my song in a film.
03:22It's not my name,
03:24it's the name of another music director.
03:27So, you have to bear it a little in the beginning.
03:30At that time, we couldn't speak.
03:32We used to say,
03:33this is my song and you did this.
03:36So, the relationship got worse.
03:39So, it's like that.
03:41A lot of people here,
03:43the rest of the thefts,
03:45I think the music director
03:47feels insecure.
03:50If the director, producer or company
03:53gives us a cassette,
03:55if I don't do it,
03:56it will go to the other side.
03:58You know?
03:59People feel insecure and do it.
04:01They feel helpless.
04:03I have never done this.
04:06I want to say my work.
04:11It's better to work honestly.
04:14I don't believe in thefts.
04:18Inspiration is a different thing.
04:20Inspiration inspires people.
04:22You know, I also listen to some songs.
04:24I like country music.
04:26So, I don't pick it up.
04:28I don't lift it.
04:29It's an inspiration.
04:30Let's say I'm upset,
04:31I'm in a bad mood.
04:32Let's listen to some rhythm patterns.
04:34Let's do this.
04:37Nowadays,
04:39there are so many action movies.
04:42There are very few musical movies.
04:45But there is a lot of scope for music in it.
04:48Because whenever there is
04:50a lot of heaviness in the movie,
04:52a song is added or something is done.
04:54So, what do you think?
04:56How much role does music play in it?
04:59See, the action films,
05:01nowadays, you know,
05:03romantic songs also feel like action.
05:06The way they are picturized.
05:09They don't feel like they are romancing.
05:14A romantic song should be in two characters.
05:17Because it's love.
05:19A man and a woman will love each other.
05:21He won't make the other person dance.
05:24You know, it's not love.
05:26It's an old movie.
05:27Even today, listening to songs
05:29feels so good.
05:31The way they are visualized,
05:33feels so good.
05:35So, that's one thing.
05:37The other thing is,
05:39in action movies,
05:41like my movie,
05:43Veer Gati,
05:45the songs are an item.
05:47I don't know about the situation.
05:49The song starts and ends abruptly.
05:51So, everything else
05:53depends on the director.
05:55That's the main thing.
05:57Because when we sit here,
05:59there's a lot of difference
06:01between singing and acting.
06:03For example,
06:05we pass the song here.
06:07We sit here for 3 months
06:09and write the lyrics.
06:11Later,
06:13if it doesn't work,
06:15it's very sad.
06:17You know?
06:19So, it's like that.
06:21As far as action movies are concerned,
06:23we are action heroes.
06:25So,
06:27the songs
06:29are an item
06:31to balance it.
06:33But the music should be our own.
06:35That's the main thing.
06:39Nowadays,
06:41the instruments of orthodox music
06:43are getting outdated.
06:45And,
06:47techno music is really in vogue
06:49and things like that.
06:51There are so many new instruments.
06:53Do you think you can replace
06:55a harmonium here?
06:57I'm also new to this.
06:59But,
07:01the feelings in harmonium
07:03are not there.
07:05There are no expressions.
07:07The same thing
07:09is with electronics.
07:11Electronics can give you
07:13a good result,
07:15a good sound,
07:17but without feeling.
07:19You know?
07:21There's a difference.
07:23This one is a few days old.
07:25It's not going to last long.
07:27It's just one sound.
07:29Is there only one synthesizer?
07:31Many musicians have
07:33taken this synthesizer.
07:35By the grace of God,
07:37I can play it.
07:39I know everything about it.
07:41Basically,
07:43I'm a musician.
07:45The rest of the music directors
07:47will see that
07:49I'm using TS-10.
07:51They'll ask me
07:53if I have TS-10.
07:55Then they'll ask me
07:57to make sounds.
07:59I think there are
08:01at least 20-25 TS-10s
08:03in the film industry.
08:05But,
08:07you should know how to use it.
08:09You can't depend
08:11on it completely.
08:13It sounds monotonous.
08:15It's acoustic.
08:17Without acoustic,
08:19there's no life.
08:21Especially, without music.
08:23Your wife is a singer too.
08:25Does she sing
08:27in your compositions?
08:31No.
08:33My wife is...
08:37I'm very strict about it.
08:39There are a few things.
08:41My relationship is different.
08:43My profession is different.
08:45Yes.
08:47In every film,
08:49there was a film called
08:51Aau Pyar Kare.
08:53Mr. Bokhade said
08:55that a singer hasn't come yet.
08:57So,
08:59we'll get an idea.
09:01So, who should we call?
09:05I think
09:07my wife came
09:09to the theatre.
09:11I said,
09:13will you sing?
09:15Will it be a final?
09:17A dubbing will do.
09:19Mr. Bokhade said,
09:21yes, it's the best.
09:23He liked it so much
09:25that he said,
09:27there's no need to dub.
09:29The music became a hit.
09:31Mr. Bokhade
09:33said,
09:35no, it's a daughter-in-law's song.
09:37I'll sing it.
09:39I have a song in every film.
09:41It's not like I say,
09:43keep it.
09:45It's not like that.
09:47Directors and producers
09:49know it.
09:51So, they ask.
09:53I say, if it's there,
09:55it will be like this.
09:57She was an actress.
09:59If she wants to act,
10:01what will you say?
10:03Acting,
10:05when she was doing it
10:07earlier,
10:09there's a lot of difference.
10:13I've never interfered
10:15in her personal life.
10:17I've never told her
10:19not to act.
10:21Now, she doesn't want to act
10:23anymore.
10:27With so many music directors
10:29around,
10:31you've come up
10:33with so many hits.
10:35You're also very popular.
10:37Where do you think you stand?
10:39Still, I'm
10:41nowhere.
10:43I've told you before
10:45that
10:49the love of the audience
10:51today,
10:53they liked a real music director.
10:57Their love
10:59gave me confidence.
11:01When my first film was a hit,
11:03at that time,
11:05I was singing with double meaning.
11:09When I got a chance,
11:11like I told you,
11:13my music
11:15is very basic
11:17in terms of culture.
11:19I always make it bigger.
11:21It's not like
11:23if someone gets an electronic hit,
11:25I'll do it too.
11:27I'm not in that.
11:29There's nothing in it.
11:31I don't want to steal
11:33anyone's face.
11:35A soft melody, a good lyric,
11:37a good orchestra arrangement.
11:39The public liked it.
11:41Why did they like it?
11:43Because it was my original song.
11:45That gave me confidence.
11:47The people who
11:49blame the audience,
11:51most of them
11:53say that the audience
11:55won't understand the film.
11:57I'm making it for them.
11:59I'm not making it for my family.
12:01I'm not making it for my relatives.
12:03When I'm in a commercial line,
12:05I'm working commercially.
12:07Today, there's an audience.
12:09There's an audience
12:11that makes me.
12:13There's an audience that makes everyone.
12:15The stars,
12:17the creative artists.
12:19They're the ones who make it.
12:21We should take care of them.
12:23And
12:25the more truthfully
12:27we work,
12:29the less politics.
12:31If you focus on your work,
12:33instead of copying,
12:35if you work less,
12:37but do your own work,
12:39the satisfaction you get
12:41is not in the numbers.
12:43I believe in quality,
12:45not in quantity.
12:47Aditya ji,
12:49tell us about your family background.
12:51How did you get into it?
12:53I'll tell you about my family background.
12:55I'm from Kayasth.
12:57We value education a lot.
12:59My mother
13:01was a lecturer.
13:03My father was a superintendent.
13:07I'm the youngest.
13:09We have three brothers
13:11and two sisters.
13:13Among the three brothers,
13:15I have Chitresh bhai.
13:17My elder brother is Mukesh.
13:19He's still in Jabalpur.
13:21He belongs to Jabalpur MP.
13:23My sisters got married.
13:25As a hobby,
13:27my father used to tell me
13:29not to go out
13:31and play with others.
13:33It's better to
13:35focus on music at home.
13:37He was fond of music.
13:39As a hobby,
13:41we used to play music at home.
13:43There used to be
13:45small officers' gatherings
13:47in the club.
13:49We used to sit and
13:51invite Srivastava's family.
13:53When I was in college
13:55and studied,
13:57I wanted to go to medical school
13:59and become a doctor.
14:01In our MP,
14:03there's a lot of schedule drive.
14:05I didn't get it.
14:07My percentage was 84.
14:09It's still on my waiting list.
14:11I was a little upset.
14:13It's better to focus on music.
14:15I came to Bombay in 1977-78.
14:19While struggling there,
14:21as a musician,
14:23I worked with Lakshmi Ji and Pyare Ji.
14:25As a musician,
14:27I worked with Panchamda, Shankar Ji,
14:29Rajesh Roshan, Ravindra Jain,
14:31O.P. Nehru.
14:33I worked with everyone as a musician.
14:35I used to play drums.
14:37In 1982,
14:39I joined Lakshmi Ji and Pyare Ji.
14:41I worked with them for 10-11 years.
14:45In 1992,
14:47I started giving independent music.
14:49Sudhakar Ji gave me my first break.
14:53My second film was
14:55Aau Pyaar Kare.
15:01There are good people
15:03in the industry.
15:09I was lucky
15:11to work with
15:13Pehlaj Ji, Salim Bhai,
15:15Vimal Ji.
15:19There are a lot of good people.
15:21Sultan Ahmad Ji,
15:23Sultan Sahib Ji.
15:25They are good people.
15:27I don't want to work too much.
15:29I want to work for a long time.
15:31It's not like I came here in two years
15:33and left.
15:35I don't know what will happen.
15:39It's better to work hard.
15:41It's better to do original work.
15:43In every interview,
15:45I hear that I am original.
15:47But,
15:49this is wrong.
15:51If you have worked with someone
15:53and lifted a tune,
15:55then you should agree.
15:57You should agree that
15:59you have done it.
16:01But here,
16:03they take awards
16:05with a smile on their face.
16:07It feels weird.
16:09It wasn't like this before.
16:11I was in the
16:13Panchamda form.
16:15My boss
16:17was in the LP form.
16:19I never saw jealousy
16:21between the two of us.
16:23We used to meet like brothers
16:25at parties.
16:27He used to say,
16:29let's go for a party.
16:31I used to feel so bad.
16:33These days,
16:35there are two partners
16:37in two music directors.
16:39I used to say,
16:41let me handle him.
16:43It's such a bad environment.
16:45I have never seen
16:47anything like this in my life.
16:49I am a little
16:51away from these things.
16:55I am a very
16:57bold guy.
16:59I say what I don't like.
17:01I saw that boldness
17:03affected my career.
17:05So, I stop going to parties.
17:07You can't see.
17:09It feels so artificial.
17:11I used to go
17:13to a music director
17:15who was at the top.
17:17He used to say,
17:19I put my hand on my foot
17:21and took so many pictures.
17:23This is the line.
17:25What can I say?
